Vampire- Modems and Routers

Good article to read, however for 5-6.00 dollars as it says I'll gladly leave the router plugged in and powered all the time as it is now. On the horizon seems to be a mandate for more efficient ones in the future. However, from Trend you can get Uber nice ones now that are very easy on power. What's all the fuss? 1 Billion on the power grid and 3 power plants just to run these things? Seems perhaps a little inflated on the country's power grid. Read and decide what you think!
